Lion’s Share Songtext
von Wild Beasts

I find you hidden there, a veiled creature of the deep
Waifish as a widow and without sufficient sleep
Oh, what am I supposed to think?
Do I pull you out, or do I let you sink?

I wait until you′re woozy, I lay low until you're lame
I take you in my mouth like a lion takes his game
I love you all the more for every fault
They′re how I'd gotten in, they're how I cracked the vault

′Cause it′s a terrible scare
But that's why the dark is there
So you don′t have to see what you can't bear
The lion′s share

Lion's share
I took the lion′s share
Not 'cause I didn't care
Just ′cause I knew it was there


Oh-oh-oh, lion′s share
I took the lion's share
Not ′cause I didn't care
Just ′cause I knew it was there

Boy, what you running from?
Boy?
Boy, what you running from?
Boy?

'Cause it′s a terrible scare
But that's why the dark is there
So you don't have to see what you can′t bear
The lion′s share

Boy, what you running from?
Boy?
Boy, what you running from?
Boy?

'Cause it′s a terrible scare
But that's why the dark is there
So you don′t have to see what you can't bear
The lion′s share
